A very nice job!  I'm glad to see people still taking an interest.

I'd like to suggest that, in addition to the XML version, there be a 
PDF version (with appropriate hyperlinks).  The reason is that it 
will be much more convenient for people to grab a copy and read it if 
it is a single file in a common interchange format.  While the XML is 
a winning idea idea, PDF may well turn out to be more long-lived and 
accessible (despite its many shortcomings).

If there is anything that the history of the lispm should teach us, 
it is that winning ideas are often ignored by the larger world.  I'd 
hate to see this stuff get lost again because it was converted from 
one obscure format (bolio) to a nicer but equally obscure format 
(custom XML).  Adding the PDF is a fairly easy way of hedging the bet.
